This is not your traditional Guy Ritchie movie with slick fast paced action, clever humour and lots of twists. Which I have loved in the past. It is basically a combination of heist movie and revenge thriller. But it's played very straight, without a lot of effort to build characters, and doesn't ever seem to build much momentum. So a few times during the movie I found myself looking at my watch, wondering if it was really going anywhere.
The action is fairly tight but mainly gunplay, not much physical action as Statham is famous for.
There are no heroes either, Stathams character seems to be a pretty nasty piece of work himself.
All in all, it's an average thriller with nothing in particular to recommend it.
